 Minnesota Medicaid (MNMA) has a variety of different plans. As of 7/1/19, most claims will need to be filed directly with MNMA regardless of the plan the patient presents with. You will need to use the patient’s 8-digit PMI/MNMA number. The number will be listed on their insurance card regardless of the plan and will always start with a 0. Below is a list of insurances patients will have that need to be billed directly to MNMA. Minnesota Medicaid (MNMA) has a variety of different plans.

 As with all things related to Medicaid, it can’t be that simple. A very small number of patients will have an **MNMA** plan that we would still bill to **DELTA DENTAL MN (MEDICAID)** or **HEALTH PARTNERS (MEDICAID) DENTAL**. You don’t have to worry about adding those dental plans. As with all things related to Medicaid, it can’t be that simple.

-If you see a patient that already has one of those dental plans added, just look under “Group name” and if you see BB, FF, or LL, you can leave it how it is. If you don’t see anything under “Group name,” simply type the last day of the previous month under “Member eff to” and add MINN MED ASSIST DENTAL with a “Member eff from” date of the first day of the current month. +

 You do not need to worry about trying to e-verify the **MNMA** dental because it will __ALWAYS__ come back with “**Plan Mismatch**” or “**Data Mismatch**.” To avoid having Epic mess up the insurances, you can use the “**Override Query**” function, then enter the ID and effective date on the next screen. You do not need to worry about trying to e-verify the **MNMA** dental because it will __ALWAYS__ come back with “**Plan Mismatch**” or “**Data Mismatch**.” To avoid having Epic mess up the insurances, you can use the “**Override Query**” function, then enter the ID and effective date on the next screen.
